Kuril Islands: The edge of the world

A journey to the Kuril Islands will take you to the most dramatic reaches of the Pacific and the oceanic Ring of Fire in the Russian Far East.

Here, mighty volcanoes (mostly only half-asleep), cast their magnificent shadows across bizarre and beautiful landscapes.

From the pristine beaches of Iturup to the rugged cliffs of Kunashir, the Kuril Islands showcase a diverse range of natural wonders.

See whales rising from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, brown bears hunting for salmon, Arctic foxes hiding among flowering bushes, and rare species of birds soaring through the sky all the way to the horizon.
